089 Red Cotton Guitar and Woman with Short Hair (Seeking Monthly Pass)(1/3)
"What, boss, you want to buy a musical instrument?"
"Yes, buy musical instruments."
After saying this, Cao Zhiqiang said to Yang An'an: "By the way, Lao Yang, you are familiar with this place. Where do you think the musical instruments are better, especially those that sell rare items, such as guitars?"
After listening to Cao Zhiqiang's words, Yang An'an thought for a while and said: "As for ordinary musical instruments, such as harmonicas, flutes, etc., they are sold in department stores.
But if it’s a rare musical instrument like you mentioned, especially a large musical instrument, such as an accordion, a piano, or a guitar like you mentioned, then I’m afraid you have to go to the Gongmei Building.”
"Yes, Gongmei Building." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
That's right, when he was in college in Beijing in his previous life, he knew that the Gongmei Building also sold musical instruments, and he also visited it.
He remembered that the place where musical instruments were sold at that time seemed to be on the fifth floor of the Gongmei Building.
I didn’t know that in this time and space, Gongmei Building had already started selling musical instruments.
It seems that this Gongmei Building has a long history of selling musical instruments.
"Just go there!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "Go to Gongmei Building!"
"Okay!" Yang Ping'an smiled, put the towel on his shoulders, and kicked off three wheels.
"Lao Yang."
On the way, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly asked.
"Is there nothing going on at home recently? Are your mother, your brothers and sisters okay?"
"Thanks to you, everything is fine." Yang An'an said while pedaling the tricycle, "With the money you gave me, I bought medicine for my mother. I also collected the tuition fees for my younger brothers and sisters and paid them back.
They all got new clothes.
Everyone is happy, and so am I.”
Speaking of this, Yang An'an sighed: "Well, speaking of it, I can hardly remember how long it has been since our family was so happy."
Cao Zhiqiang was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "That's good. A neat family and a happy family are more important than anything else."
"Who says it's not?" Yang An'an sighed.
"By the way, Lao Yang, don't you think about your own affairs?" Cao Zhiqiang asked again, "For example, don't you think about finding a wife for yourself? You are not young anymore, it's time to think about it."
"I think about it, but I just dare to think about it." Yang An'an laughed at himself while pedaling a three-wheeler, "With a family like me, no money, and no serious work person, which girl dares to marry me?
."
"That's not necessarily true." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Don't worry, Lao Yang, we are brothers. As long as you are determined to work with me, you will definitely get a wife in a short time, I said so."
"Then let me borrow your favor, boss." Yang Ping'an chuckled.
Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and changed the subject: "By the way, you can go and ask around later to find out where there is a driving school that can teach you how to drive a car. Then you can sign up and learn to drive. Don't worry about the money. I will pay for it."
."
"Learn to drive? Me?" Yang Ping'an was startled and couldn't help but turn around, "Boss, you, are you really going to let me learn to drive?"
"Nonsense." Cao Zhiqiang said, "You are my full-time driver, and the driver must act like a driver. You can't ride a three-wheeler for the rest of your life, right?
What, you don’t want to learn to drive?”
"Think, think!" Yang Ping'an nodded repeatedly.
Just kidding, who doesn’t want to learn to drive these days?
Once you learn to drive and can be a driver, it will be one of the best jobs in the year.
These days, car drivers are better than many leaders. Real high-tech talents are eager to get them everywhere.
If he learns to drive, he will have nothing to worry about in his life.
You're like Bangge. Even if he doesn't drive for ministries and commissions in the future, he will starve to death with just a driver's license and the skills to drive, and he will still be very popular.
It's just that the cost of learning to drive is very high for ordinary people. The annual tuition is 1,800 yuan, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
At least Yang Ping'an himself couldn't raise the money even if he was killed.
But if it was Cao Zhiqiang who paid for it, then there would be no problem.
Cao Zhiqiang now has enough money to buy a car, and it shouldn't be difficult to find connections. However, although Cao Zhiqiang can drive, he doesn't have a driver's license, so it's useless to buy a car. He can't drive on the road by himself.
Although these days, drivers in many places are driving without a license, so it is good to have a car to drive.
But this is the boundary of the capital, and everything must be followed, especially Cao Zhiqiang, who must follow the rules.
Because it is in his interest to follow the rules.
In fact, if Cao Zhiqiang wants to get a driver's license, there is a better and faster way, and that is to go through his work unit.
If you are learning to drive from a driver of a state-owned enterprise, you must first obtain the approval of the driver of the state-owned enterprise, and then write a letter directly to the traffic police department in the name of the state-owned enterprise and directly request someone to take the test. You can also take the test directly. If you pass the test, you can obtain a driver's license.
.
In those days, Bangeng was to first learn to drive from someone in the department. When he was almost done, the ministry would then send a letter to the traffic police and ask Bangeng to take the test in the name of an employee of the ministry. That would be much simpler.
To put it bluntly, in this era, private individuals without an employer will suffer discrimination in all aspects, while those with an employer will be able to do everything conveniently.
"If you want to learn to drive, just ride your three-wheeler." Cao Zhiqiang laughed and scolded, "Why do you look back at me? Look at the road. What should I do if I hit a wall?"
Yang An'an chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm familiar with this place. I can't hit the wall even if I ride with my eyes closed!"
"That won't work. Hitting someone will be more troublesome." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "Return and ride well. Especially after you learn to drive, you must pay more attention to traffic safety. I don't want a driver who drives dangerously all day long."
Yang An'an smiled, then turned his head and pedaled the tricycle with more energy: "Don't worry, boss, I know the rules best. If I really learn how to drive a car, I'm sure to drive it safely for you!"
As if he had been guaranteed to learn to drive, Yang Ping An's three-wheel speed this time was a little faster than before.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the Gongmei Building.
Cao Zhiqiang got out of the car and wanted Yang Anping to go with him, but Yang Anping refused, saying that he was not interested in those things, so he stayed to look at the car and smoke a cigarette.
He knew that Cao Zhiqiang didn't like people smoking, so he refrained from smoking in front of Cao Zhiqiang, but now he was so excited that he couldn't release the excitement in his heart unless he smoked.
In this case, Cao Zhiqiang did not force himself and went to Gongmei Building alone.
When I went in and asked people, I found that the place selling musical instruments was also on the fifth floor.
That's good, go straight to the fifth floor and keep walking!
When we arrived on the fifth floor, we saw someone selling musical instruments.
When I walked into a booth, I saw that there were many musical instruments, such as piano, organ, cello, accordion, etc.
I looked around again and found no guitar.
Seemingly seeing Cao Zhiqiang standing still, and his well-dressed appearance, he looked like a wealthy man, so the counter clerk came over and said, "Comrade, what do you want to buy?"
"Excuse me, do you have a guitar?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.
"Guitar?" The waiter frowned, "You mean, the kind of guitar in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies?"
"Yes, that's it." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
The waiter shook his head: "Sorry, no."
"Then do you know where I can buy guitars?" Cao Zhiqiang asked, "Classical guitars, folk guitars, anything."
"Is this it?" the waiter thought for a moment, then shook his head again, "I don't have it here, let alone other places. Why don't you go to the department store and have a look?"
Cao Zhiqiang didn't believe in evil, so he went shopping in other places. After shopping around, he found that there were many musical instruments, but no guitars were sold.
Of course, not everything was lost. He bought two harmonicas, one accent harmonica and one polyphonic harmonica, both with 28 holes.
I bought the harmonica, but not the most important guitar, so I had no choice but to continue.
After that, he asked Lao Yang to take him to the department store.
But I walked around the department store and still couldn't find it.
However, the middle-aged salesperson selling musical instruments in the department store recommended that he go to Xinhua Bookstore.
Ever since, Cao Zhiqiang went to Xinhua Bookstore in Wangfujing.
As a result, this time, he really encountered it.
There are really guitars for sale here!
"I'll go!" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned when he saw the guitar hanging behind the counter, "Xinhua Bookstore sells guitars? This, this operation is quite confusing."
Seeing that the guitar he wanted was really there, Cao Zhiqiang quickly said to the female salesperson who was sitting aside reading a book: "Comrade, how much does that guitar cost?"
The female salesperson glanced back, then continued to come back and lowered her head to read, and said casually: "Ah, that's 58 yuan."
"How much?" Cao Zhiqiang was shocked.
"58 yuan." The female salesperson said calmly, "Don't be too expensive. This is a red cotton guitar, a brand-name product! And guitars are niche instruments. There are few people playing them and the output is small. The price is very suitable.
."
Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "I'm not saying it's expensive, I'm saying, how can it be so cheap?"
"Huh?" The female salesperson then raised her head, glanced at Cao Zhiqiang, and smiled: "Oh, he is still a rich man."
Hearing the other party's somewhat mocking tone, Cao Zhiqiang realized that his words just now were suspected of being pretentious.
